Dec. 28;

To all whom it may concern: p

Be it known. that we, CHARLES E. CHAD; DOCK and RICHARD G. Cnnonoon, citizens of r the United States, both residing at Canton, I 5 in the county of Stark and State of Ohio have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gloves, of which the follow- '1n is a specificat on.

his invention relates to wearing apparel and has special reference to a glove which is peculiarly An object of thisinvention is to so form a' om canvas, leather or any other like suitthe wearer.

. The invention has for a further object the provision of a'glove of this character which owing to the few parts which comprise the same,the few seams which are required to, make the same and consequently'the quick andeasy-manufacture thereof will produce a glove which can be manufactured economically and one which is of great practical advantage both to the manufacturer and the wearer. y

The invention has for a still further aim mation which have not the strengthre- 4Y5 quired exceptin the formation of gloves of leather or other heavy and durable material.

For a full understanding of the invention reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which--- 7 Figure 1- is a perspective view of one side ,of the improved glove. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the blank from which thesame is I formed. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the thumb-blank. .Fig. 4 is a view of one of the fourchettes employed) between the finger adapted forworking purposes, althoughit-may be worn asdesired.

able material and one which comprises but for another object the the provision of fourchettes which are of I r J eces of the glove. Flg. 5 is a view of a lank of a mltten which is formed in the improved manner embodying the invention. Corresponding and like parts are referred to the following description and indicated in all the viewsof the drawings by the same reference characters.

Referring to the drawings the numeral 10 designates the blank from which the glove is formed which comprises a portion of material which isof substantially recs tangular formation and which is slitted in wardly from one longitudinal edge thereof at points in substantially equi-distant relation in order to form a plurality of halffingers 11 which are rounded at'their outer extremities and cut invarious lengths in order to conform to thehand and fingers of the wearer; The blank '10 is adapted to be folded over upon itself and to be. stitched along the adjacent edges as'at 12 to form a seam which is adapted to be. positioned outwardly of the glove. The half-fingers 11 are formedin pairs which are disposed at the opposite ends of the blank 10 so that the same will register when brought into engagement with each other u'pon the overlapping of the blank 10. The central finger portion 13 which is adapted for the reception of the index finger of the wearer is also cut so asto form a beveled half-finger which is;cu-t inwardly centrally thereof to cause the registration of the same when over lapped and to conform to the curvature of the end of the fingerof the wearer. The inner or opposite longitudinal edge of the blank 10 is cut so as to form a half four-.

When the blank 10 is overlapped the half,

fourchette 14 is disposed at the folded edge of the blank and is bent upwardly and engaged between the inner edges of a thumbpiece 15which is stitched thereto for substantially half ofits length andhaviiig the inner edges thefeof .stitched' to the inner edgesv of the blank :10 adjacent thereto. This arrangement and formation of 'the'thumb piece 15v in connection with the half fourchette 14 producesa thumb on the love which 1s positioned immediatelyat the mner edge of the same so that the glove can be Worn upon either hand advantageously.

The half-fingers 11 when in registered position are attached at their inner edges to fourchettes 16 which are positioned therebetween. In this formation it is necessary to form the fingers of the glove directly outwardly fromthe body portion in order that the same may bebent in either direction according to the hand from which the same is worn and this construction admits of the substantially diamond formation of the fourchettes 16 which are disposed between the half-fingers 11. The object'in thus forming the fourchett-es 16 is in producing the same in a strong and durable form so that strains and wear upon the fourchettes will not tend to pull the same apart as is the case in gloves of common formation where the fourchettes are formed in V-- sha pe.

The blank 10 is provided with a suitable ,wristband 17 which is stitched upon the inner edge of the blank 10 and upon the inner-edge. of the thumb-piece'lii thereby completing the glove, 2 "I In the formation of this glove .it w 1 be observed that there are substantially bill fiye ose the same and that m parts which com 'a glove of but five parts,

the production 0 economy and rapidity are insured especially when the parts are of such a convenient formation as is disclosed herein.

,maining structure of the mitten is tially half fingers, a half fourchette stamped from p 1 7 In the drawings isdiscloseda' I modified form of the invention which com-1 r prises a formation of-the blank 10 upon its outer edge with but a central cut-awa por-i tion and a rounded edge which is a a ted to register upon the overlap of the blan 18" for the purpose of formin' a mitten. When the blank 18 is overlappe the'rounded edge of the same is'registered and stitched, thereby closing the end of the same.

as above. described in connection with the preferred form.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new i's:- I Y In a device as specified the combination-of a blank, half fingers formed in one of the longitudinal edges of the sa' for overla ped r'egistratiom' fourchettes of diamond o'rmat1on stitched between said? said blank intermediately thereo and a thumb-piece stitched about the edges of, said half fourchette and the inner edges oftsaid blank. I i

In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
